Necroscopic Unlimited (Tracy Crockett) - new book review

Bukkakeworld..... Bukkakeworld....What a freakin term that is. Bukkake... And what the hell is a Bukkakeworld? Let Mike Philbin explain it to you by checking out one of the most mind fucking tales you'll ever encounter. Mike Philbin has a way of describing things that come across at first glance to just be vile and unnecessary. Yet all he is merely doing is showing us a way of perceiving things that are already laid out in front of us and dealing with them accordingly.

For example, You get to work in the morning. You do your equipment checks then ya check in with the boss man. Things are looking up for ya. Today looks like it's going to be a good day, you tell yourself. Then for some anal reason the customer from yesterday didn't like where you put their stuff causing your boss to add to the spunk of society. You dredge through the rest of your day avoiding spunk from the douche bags from First State Bank closing down early to do their paperwork. To hell with staying open during the glass door listed hours.. You're on their time remember?

Philbin does explain and show us that there are alternatives, different decisions we make in life that can alleviate the amount of spunk digested in on a daily basis. But is there ever truly an ally, if you will, in this hunt for ultimate supremacy? Mike seems to think so. He gets it. Why don't you? Like when you're deciding on a high up in whatever it may be, the choices you have before you are a douche bag in one hand and a pile of shit in the other. Which would you rather have?

Bukkakeworld is without a doubt a beautifully written story, albeit a visually disturbing one. There were many a time while i was reading this I felt as if I should put the book down and go take a shower. It makes you feel dirty. But most importantly I believe it makes you wake up and perceive things around you in a completely different way from here on out. I must give thanks to Mike Philbin for saying what I've felt on numerous times throughout my life. And thanks for wiping the spunk out of our eyes.

I remember when this was a short story -- it was one of the weirdest mindscrews you'd ever come across. I am writing a story that is inspired by Hertzen Chimera where I even reference him in the story and the hospital was in some kind of chimeraworld. It is traditional horror doing the surreal and extremely macabre -- where he is detailed with the psychoerotic I am implying it. I am looking to go pro with the story if they don't puke first.
